The purpose of Lebanon Community Hospital is to provide primary health care to the people of Linn County and to improve the overall wellness of this region.
In recent years, Lebanon Community Hospital’s parent company, Good Samaritan Hospital’s parent company in Corvallis, and Albany General Hospital’s parent company formed a new parent corporation: Samaritan Health Services. This consolidation has given our patients better access to physician specialists and has brought more insurance programs to east Linn County.
